After the analysis and interpretation of raw data, it was found that Mahar student’s classroom experience in language learning were, English was difficult language to learn because of less speaking environment in the class. It was also found that the teacher used Nepali and Doteli languages in the class so that students can’t get more exposure in English language. Among four language skills writing activities was their favorite things. Similarly, interesting way of teaching, more pair work, group work activities, language game, and role play activity in the classroom help students to participate better in English classroom. Most of the parents of Mahar students were uneducated so that they can’t guide their children to do their homework, create learning environment and involve in children activities like reading.
